Some beers are fine with a little molasses. The molasses that I like is an unsulfured light molasses. Blackstrap can overpower some beers, and it contains a lot of minerals.

If I can piggyback onto this thread - what would be the best choice of molasses to emulate dark rum in a beer? I've been kicking around an idea for a "Dark & Stormy"-inspired beer for a little while now (ginger, molasses and lots of citrusy late hops), but I've never brewed with molasses so I'm not sure how to best get that dark rum character I'm after.
